Kizcity

Kizcity is a Vietnam version of kidzania. I didn't know it existed until a friend of mine ( Harith's classmate mom) invited me to go with a group of other kids and mothers as an outing for the kids. It was ok, i have never been to kidzania though. But Harith and Zuhayr enjoyed himself especially at the fire engine station.

Homemade telescope

Its a dream of mine to do lots of science project with my kids. However most of the time a science project is a big project at busy time its quite impossible.

The other day , Harith and I , and uyay ( not to forget the little guy help as well) manage to make a telescope!!! The deco outside the telescope body is totally Harith idea and work. Of course i need to help with the silinder and lense. Yeay and it works!!! Weeeeee!!!, now we can start looking at the stars and mapping them. Maybe I would buy him a real one later once I manage to quirk his interest more on this astronomy stuff.

Flower pot

The other day Harith saw my plastic flowers i stored somewhere and wants to arrange them in a flower pot and started wishing that he can make a flower pot. Hmmm he seems to want to make everything that he wants!! Isn't great!!. Tak yah beli, and secretly wishing he has some talent to be an inventor someday. Sigh....mother's fantasy. Well ok why not, so I thought of a very simple paper art. Just like paper mashie but shorter time to dry. We did it one day and let it dry overnight and color them the next day and Harith took my flowers and arrange them himself. Later he had an idea to gave them to his class teacher Ms Rena whom he misses so much during the holiday. Now the flower pot is sitting in his classroom as deco. And he is proud of them everyday. Its a good activity overall fill with creativity, encouraging ideas and realizing them and teach lots of compassion as well plus encouraging self confidence.
